Interview with Prof. Jill Katz at Tel es Safi. [video]
(Israel: Nachliel Selavan Museum Tours [museumtours.co.il], 2016-07)Interview with Prof. Dr. Jill C. Katz, Stern College for Women, Yeshiva University and Nachliel Selavan about Tel es Safi, Goliath's hometown). -
Is there a place for prehistoric man within the Torah? The view of one European gadol, Rabbi Israel Lipschitz
(Yeshiva University Stern College for Women, 2021)This article is a companion to the prior article, “Dinosaurs and Wooly Mammoths - is there a Torah Viewpoint?” [1] and the rationale for publication is the same -- numerous Jewish day schools and yeshivot visit the ... -
Jewish day school wounds and what we can do about them
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)This article is based upon a qualitative research study that examined 95 school stories written by Jewish female teacher candidates in an undergraduate education course. Many candidates wrote inspirational or humorous ... -
The Jewish People under the microscope
(Stern College for Women, Torah Activities Council (TAC), Yeshiva University, 2000)As Orthodox Jewish communities grow in size and numbers, medical and health care professionals have become increasingly aware of the special requirements for this unique population. Appropriate articles in medical journals ... -
The kof, reverse evolution, and the adnei ha-sadeh
(Stern College for Women, Torah Activities Council (TAC), Yeshiva University, 2002)As noted in Chagigah (16a), human beings hove three characteristics in common with, and three other characteristics distinguishing them from, animals. The similarities include eating and drinking, elimination of wastes, ... -
Level repulsion and dynamics in the finite one-dimensional Anderson model.
(American Physical Society, 2019-08-29)Abstract This work shows that dynamical features typical of full random matrices can be observed also in the simple finite one-dimensional (1D) noninteracting Anderson model with nearest-neighbor couplings. In the ... -
Level Repulsion and Dynamics in the Finite One-Dimensional Anderson Model.
(Philip Allan Publishers Limited, 2019-09-12)This work shows that dynamical features typical of full random matrices can be observed also in the simple finite one-dimensional (1D) noninteracting Anderson model with nearest neighbor couplings. In the thermodynamic ... -
Localization and the effects of symmetries in the thermalization properties of one-dimensional quantum systems.
(American Physical Society, 2010)We study how the proximity to an integrable point or to localization as one approaches the atomic limit, as well as the mixing of symmetries in the chaotic domain, may affect the onset of thermalization in finite one-dimensional ... -
Locusts and elephants
(Office of the Dean and Office of Admissions, Stern College for Women, YU, 2006)This essay is a discussion of two creatures, locusts and elephants, from a Torah U'Madda perspective. Both had an impact on Jewish history and both are discussed in the Talmud. -
Noach and the tayva some Torah, some biology
(Stern College for Women, Torah Activities Council (TAC), Yeshiva University, 2001)Everyone is familiar with the story of Noach and the tayva. The intent of this article is not to review the entire incident in depth, but to focus on those aspects that have biological overtones. However, for continuity ... -
A note on rabbinic titles and the communities that create them.
(The Michael Scharf Publication Trust of Yeshiva University Press ; Maggid Books, 2018) -
On stability of fixed points and chaos in fractional systems.
(Chaos, 2018)In this paper, we propose a method to calculate asymptotically period two sinks and define the range of stability of fixed points for a variety of discrete fractional systems of the order 0<α<2 . The method is tested on ... -
On the fractional Eulerian numbers and equivalence of maps with long term power-law memory (integral Volterra equations of the second kind) to Grünvald-Letnikov fractional difference (differential) equations
(Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2015)In this paper, we consider a simple general form of a deterministic system with power-law memory whose state can be described by one variable and evolution by a generating function. A new value of the system's variable is ... -
Onset of quantum chaos in one-dimensional bosonic and fermionic systems and its relation to thermalization.
(American Physical Society, 2010)By means of full exact diagonalization, we study level statistics and the structure of the eigenvectors of one-dimensional gapless bosonic and fermionic systems across the transition from integrability to quantum chaos. ... -
Plagues 4 to 6: Wild animals, pestilence, and boils
(Stern College for Women, Yeshiva University, 2011)The Ibn Ezra (Shemos 9:1) noted that the plagues of blood and frogs were mediated through the medium of water, of lice and wild animals through the medium of soil, and of pestilence and boils through the medium of the ... -
Plagues 7 to 10
(Stern College for Women, Torah Activities Council (TAC), Yeshiva University, 2012)Hail, Lightning, and Thunder: The 7th Plague “HaShem said to Moshe, Stretch out your hand toward the sky and there will be hail throughout all Egypt. It will fall on man and animal and on all outdoor plants all over ... -
Positive quantum Lyapunov exponents in classically regular systems.
(arXiv.org, 2019-09-09)Quantum chaos refers to signatures of classical chaos found in the quantum domain. Recently, it has become common to equate the exponential behavior of the quantum evolution of out-of-time order correlators (OTOCs) with ... -
Positive quantum Lyapunov exponents in experimental systems with a regular classical limit.
(American Physical Society, 2020-01-22)Quantum chaos refers to signatures of classical chaos found in the quantum domain. Recently, it has become common to equate the exponential behavior of out-of-time order correlators (OTOCs) with quantum chaos. The ... -
Preschoolers use social allegiances to predict behavior.
(Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2014) -
Probing the edge between integrability and quantum chaos in interacting few-atom systems.
(arXiv preprint, 2021-04-27)Interacting quantum systems in the chaotic domain are at the core of various ongoing studies of many-body physics, ranging from the scrambling of quantum information to the onset of thermalization. We propose a minimum ...
